IDAHO FALLS -- Winds shifted over night and the Henry's Creek Fire is now moving southeast toward where it started, according to Bonneville County Sheriff Sgt. Bryan Lovell. Fire managers mapped the fire at 43,235 acres Tuesday evening and it is 20 percent contained. Air resources had some difficulty making retardant and water drops due to high winds and low visibility. Dozens of firefighters continue to fight the fire, which has been burning since Sunday afternoon. Smoke from the fire is spreading across east Idaho and the Department of Environmental Quality has air quality currently listed as 'good' but that could change. "We are expecting to increase air quality to 'moderate' over the next few hours," Rensay Owen, DEQ Air Quality Regional Manager, tells EastIdahoNews.com. "If you're in a county that has an air quality advisory issues, open burning is not allowed."
